Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. announced the filing of four new utility patent applications for its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology, which is crucial for advanced molten-salt and ...

Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

The EMALS is an electromagnetic catapult that relies upon a linear induction motor, rather than a traditional steam piston, to launch aircraft. The linear induction motor, as the name implies, uses ...
